Whether you’re a buyer, seller, or lender, you need a professional and trustworthy Markham real estate lawyer. We can help. Through the entire process of your residential purchase or sale, we will ensure that your transaction closes smoothly according to the terms in your Agreement of Purchase and Sale.

We can provide trustworthy legal advice and guide you through your real estate transaction with ease. Our real estate lawyers can assist with the following residential services:
Has your offer to purchase a residential property just been accepted or have you just accepted an offer for your sale property? There will be a written agreement between a buyer and a seller for a particular property that will outline a number of terms and conditions for the real estate transaction. These terms or conditions can be negotiated if the agreement is still conditional. If the Agreement is firm, we can help you understand the terms of your Agreement and guide you through the closing process. It’s best to have a real estate lawyer help you understand everything laid out in the agreement or to negotiate any terms on your behalf if necessary. We can help.
Is the Closing Date for your real estate purchase or real estate sale coming up? Your Closing Date is when the property is officially transferred to the new owners. There are many steps to a real estate closing and we can help guide you through the process of closing your real estate transaction. Our real estate lawyer can facilitate final transactions, make any adjustments where necessary, and ensure buyers are aware of all closing costs associated with their transaction
We’re here to protect you and provide legal advice when you need it the most, especially in the cases of a breach of contract, lease disputes, hidden defects, refusal to buy or sell, and more.
Home insurance and title insurance aren’t the same. Title insurance helps protect both the homebuyers and the mortgage lender/bank/private lender if issues arise with transferring of property ownership. If there’s anything we care about most, it’s helping to protect our clients any way we can. Title Insurance is ordered with the closing of a purchase transaction or refinances transaction. We can also help you order an existing owner’s policy.
On closing day, our real estate lawyer will also arrange for land transfer taxes to be paid when the deed is transferred on the closing of your purchase transaction. We’ll also walk you through how much Land Transfer Tax you can expect to pay on closing. The Land Transfer Tax is based on the purchase price and the amounts are different when purchasing in Ontario and when you purchase in Toronto. If you’re a first-time buyer, you may be eligible for the Land Transfer Tax Refund Program.

A properties zoning designation is one of the main differences between residential and commercial properties. Examples of residential properties include a single-family home, condominium, townhome, semi-detached home, and mobile home, which are often zoned for residential purposes only. Examples of commercial properties include, but are not limited to, office spaces, retail stores, warehouses, multi-unit residential properties with six or more units, and factories, where the zoning by-law of the City allows for specific commercial uses. There are also mixed-use properties that allow for both commercial and residential uses.
